I read over that quickly and actually read this at first glance:

Glad you don't intend to start that here.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Where can I buy a poster of him? I want to put it in my room so I can adore him. 
In seriousness, I think it's great that the development community is very big into giving back and helping each other out. The willingness to help and share is what makes this world and us progress into better things. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No, no - I'm happy for him.
I couldn't stay there long enough to do that - the attitude stinks IMHO - but if he's helping people, then good on him!

I saw that earlier too.
The two additionally interesting things are:
1.) He has answered over 30,000 questions! (Since 2008)
2.) There is a guy who has answered over 40,000 questions since 2012!! What!?! User Gordon Linoff - Stack Overflow[^]
Mind-boggling!
|
|
|
|
|
And there's a guy who answered more than 22000 questions, and god knows how many in the programming forums.
Just saying.

Answering questions isn't the problem. Answering questions with valuable information, now that's the trick. Fortunately, Jon's one of the good ones but how many forums have we seen where people answer questions just for the sake of "reputation"?

Does Jon Skeet have answer to all life's questions ?

Life itself turns to Jon Skeet when it has questions.

He should take advantage of this fame to start his own consultancy services. $400-500 or even higher level billing.

Seems to me this is just a poorly veiled attempt at getting CP users to click through to stuckoverflow (latrine inuendo intended).
